Default Which case?

Hey guys, I'm planning to get a new case and was wondering which one of these you thought I should get. I want it to play around with some mods including stealth bays and a custom side window.

I like the fact that the PSU is on the bottom and that this case has lots of room and lots of ways to do cable management.

- or -

This one I love for the looks, simple, not-rounded edges, no lights (that way I can choose whatever color I want for cathodes and whatnot). And I also like the fact that it's made of aluminum.

What do you guys think? Thanks for the input

My money would go towards the CM, personally.

Lian-Li all the way, you just can't compare to their build quality.

I have the CM690. Dude, honestly, it is the greatest case ever. I tried the Elite 330/40 the thermaltake m9 and this case i sby far the best. Bewatned though, it is big. It is sturdy and it has great options for cable management.

If u want to knw any specifics, just PM me

Cooler Master is cheaper and basically not much difference except a little bit harder to mod. But I normally don't mod cases that I have to pay for. to get completely built in already. I just buy iron/wood.
